Easy and cute pampas grass origami method

How to Make Autumn Origami: Easy and Cute Silver Grass Origami (For Kids!) · Origami Silver Grass – Easy
Easy and cute pampas grass origami method

The Japanese pampas grass that signals the arrival of autumn in Japan has a deep charm, doesn’t it? Let’s try making pampas grass with origami.

First, cut your origami paper into a quarter-sized rectangle, fold it in half twice to make a long, narrow shape, then fold it in half once more.

Open it back up to the state where it has been folded in half once from the original.

Along that center crease you just made, use scissors to cut a slit up to the middle.

Fold it in half again, and then, starting from the slitted section, offset each layer sideways as you fold them one by one.

Finally, adjust the shape so the white and colored sections alternate when viewed, and you’re done.

Please use this as a guide and display it next to your moon-viewing dumplings!
